The difference is *huge*. So for the hunters, especially over here, the 42mm HT won't displace larger binoculars, no matter who makes them.That said, yes, the HT has got a following. Definitely. At the moment I'm getting closer and closer to getting a 10x42 HT to replace my aging Victory II 10x40 BGATP. I only want to have a quick comparison with the Noctivid before I get it. I really, really like the extra clarity and brightness of the HT over the SF and the feeling of robustness the HT has to it. I also think it's a real bargain compared to the SF (and the Noctivid!) at the moment.Hermann</blockquote>
